An innovation in aquarium maintenance, regular use of EasyBalance Plus extends the period of time you can go before making a water change. It keeps aquarium water biologically and chemically balanced, and it stabilizes pH and alkalinity, reduces phosphate, and adds vitamins, minerals and trace elements. It is designed for use with aquariums that have proper filtration and normal fish loads. Supplies a continuous buffer that prevents pH decline that occurs in aquariums over time due to the natural acidification created during the nitrification cycle. Removes phosphate from tap water and prevents its accumulation as a byproduct of protein digestion of fish foods. Add 1 tsp (5 ml) per 5 gallons of water. Repeat weekly. 500 ml treats 500 gallons. For freshwater aquariums.

Many freshwater community fish thrive in a broad pH range between slightly acidic (6.5) to slightly alkalic (7.5). To provide their ideal water conditions, you must learn how to make adjustments to your aquarium water using pH conditioners.

The graceful, stately Discus is a joy to behold. Bred in captivity since the early 1960s, the many varieties of these beautiful fish are prized for their bright and intricate color schemes by freshwater aquarists around the world.

Excellent for Nitrate Reduction
After testing the water in my freshwater aquarium, I found that my nitrate was up to 40 ppm and knew that I needed to lower it before it got worse. However, at the time I had no running water in my house and therefore couldn't simply do a water change. Hoping to keep the levels under control, I picked up a bottle of Tetra EasyBalance+ that claims to reduce nitrates by converting them into nitrogen gas, despite my skepticism from reading online reviews that denied its effectiveness. I followed dosing instructions exactly, and two days later I again tested my nitrate levels and found that they were down to just 5 ppm!
As is apparent by these test results, this product is effective for reducing nitrates. I have not tested its effectiveness as a pH buffer or phosphate reducer, but it's certainly well worth your money simply for its work with nitrates!

Works great.
This stuff helps control nitrates in my 55 gallon goldfish tank where the high bioload makes nitrates rise.
